Virtualbox will get upset and not run if Microsoft Hyper-V is enabled.

Here's the solution:

  1. Open command prompt as administrator
    • search for 'command'
    • right-click then select 'run as administrator'
  2. paste the following command:

    dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
  3. Then reboot.


To complete @DrDamnit answer, it is also possible to disable Microsoft Hyper-V from the menu.

  1. Search for "Turn Windows features on" on the start menu

Turn Windows features on and off

  1. Disable Hyper-V

Disabele Hyper-V
